Just wondering if they look ok. I am ready for a tank upgrade as I am overstocked and they are growing, but I am very good with water changes. Just wanted an expert opinion on whether we are ok for now or if my getting a larger tank is urgent. They are in a 30 gallon, there are 6 goldfish 1.5 - 3 inches long. There is also a little cory cat in there, but that is just temporary as he was eating all the platy babies in my tropical...

My tank is almost cycled and i have my eye on some goldfish at a local fish store (Pacific Aquarium) and I would like some advice on how to assess its health and condition. I plan on looking for the threads in this section of the forum regarding standards on Orandas, Ranchu, and Lionchu. But, I need advice regarding health issues, such as SBD, etc. For example, how do I know if it can withstand the depth of my 55 gallon tank when it's swimming in a 10-15 gallon on display?...
